Default My tires goes quick

My tires seem to go away quick lately. I have S-03 which I thought had a better tire ware rating then the S-02. I think it might be my alignment that might cause my tires to deteriorate premature. I got my new set of tires on January with 29,xxx and now I'm at about 34,0xx. I do drive aggressive about not crazy and I never drop my clutch. I'm new to this forum so any help will be much appreciated.

I don't think having them backwards would make them wear faster; just handle poorly in the rain.

It doesn't steer on it own or anything it just weird that my tires wear out so quick. Even though they are stock tire size I don't wanna be paying 270 set in the rear every 4 months.

well, if its only the rear, and there is no uneven tread wear, we may need to consider the driver to be the source of the problem

Do both of your rears wear out at about the same time? My right rear wears MUCH faster than my left rear. I am going to start flipping them every couple thousand miles to the other side (rolling in the same direction).

it's quite a common prob if your car is lowered . try to see a reputable alignment shop as the "camber" could be off and needs re-alignment

hope that helps
